Ayatollah Khamenei’s view on Israel's deterrence power

Tehran, IRNA - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in statements made in his speech on Eid al-Fitr day last week, referred to the fact that crimes committed by the Zionism regime has been revealed to the world and there has been an increasing support for the Palestinian people outside the Islamic world, even in Europe and within the United States.

“Today, the deterrence power of the Zionist regime has ended; The same thing that Ben-Gurion - one of the main founders of the Zionist regime and the prime minister of this regime - warned decades ago, maybe sixty years before. He said that whenever our deterrent power ends, our regime will collapse. The deterrent power has now ended or is about to end.”

Looking at this part of the Supreme Leader's statements, it can be said that the deterrence power of the Zionist regime has declined significantly in several fields.

In the domestic field, Benjamin Netanyahu's reappearance as the Prime Minister of Israel and his extreme views, especially his emphasis on the continuation of settlement construction in the vicinity of Palestinian lands and his apartheid policies toward the Arabs and insults on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, are the among the main causes of popular dissatisfaction with him and a reason behind the reduction of the occupying regime's deterrence power in the region.

Netanyahu's emphasis on judicial reforms to remove his corruption case from the investigation circuit, the appointment of inefficient officials in the Israeli government, lack of attention to the livelihood needs of the citizens, the existence of increasing inflation, the exorbitant housing and food prices, and the increase in administrative corruption has limited his ability to contain the current crisis.

Perhaps for these reasons, The Times of Israel has predicted that Netanyahu's government will be short and the Zionist regime will soon experience the dissolution of the cabinet and the rise of another government.

At the same time, the growth of the Palestinian population and the social and racial challenges in the Israeli society, along with the refusal of Jews from around the world to immigrate to the occupied Palestine and the desire of the immigrants to leave Israel, have put the future of the Zionist regime at risk.

In an article entitled “They will buy an apartment abroad, just in case” published on January 27, 2007, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed the desire of Jews to leave the occupied territories.

On foreign relations, emphasizing the necessity of peace talks has always been one of Tel Aviv's strategic policies to legitimize the existence of Israel and to de-escalate tensions with the Arab governments. At the same time, the peace talks had been aimed at calming the situation and preventing the spread of people's anger and to help weaken the intifada. However, Netanyahu's insistence on the continuation of settlement building, which is contrary to his false pacifist slogans, has disrupted the regime's foreign policy and has made Arab countries hesitant to normalize relations with Tel Aviv.

On the other hand, Israel's survival is tied to the support of major powers including the US and Europe and their financial aid. For example, since 1976, the occupying regime has been the largest recipient of economic and military aid from the United States and has received a total of $140 billion, equivalent to almost one fifth of the US foreign aid budget. But during the Biden era, we see that relations between the US and Israel are not as warm as before, and Netanyahu's presence as prime minister cannot change this situation.

Today, the Zionist regime does not enjoy the global consensus and even the support of the United States and Europe as a deterrent against the pressures of Islamic and Arab countries and this has been due to the conflict existing in its international standards and apartheid practices against Arabs.

On international sphere , Netanyahu's unusual actions in the first days of his premiership caused the United Nations General Assembly to demand the advisory opinion of the Hague International Court of Justice on the nature of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian lands.

In this vote, Arab and Islamic countries and even those who entered the process of normalizing relations with Tel Aviv voted in favor of Palestine.

One of the main cases of international dissatisfaction with Israel is the issue of five million Palestinian refugees, who mostly live in camps in different countries in a miserable condition. According to international standards, one of the conditions of Israel's membership in the United Nations is the return of the refugees to their original homeland, which has not been implemented after more than sixty years.

Earlier, Israel's allies prevented the adoption of any resolution against Israel in the UN Security Council or in the General Assembly. The United Nations once helped increase the deterrence power of this regime in the international arena, but today, due to the aforementioned reasons, the tendency to support the occupying regime at the international level has decreased and Tel Aviv cannot use this privilege to stop international pressure against itself.

On the military-security field, Israel usually sought to increase its military power by building and buying advanced arms, especially nuclear weapons, in order to maintain its security and in the defense-security field to achieve a deterrent power.

The existence of the so-called Iron Dome was also advertised as a deterrent against air attacks. But experience has showed that the army of this regime was not effective in regional wars, especially against the Palestinians and the axis of resistance.

In fact, Israel's defeat in the 33-day and 22-day wars confirmed this. In the 33-day war, Israel not only failed to defeat Hezbollah or at least disarm it, but it failed to even occupy the south of Lebanon. In the 22-day war, Israel's goal of destroying Hamas and repelling its missiles was not achieved.

Today, the increase in national solidarity among the Palestinian Mujahideen has increased the military power of the resistance axis, its ability to design detailed plans to paralyze Israel and to create olitical, economic, cyber and security troubles for the Israeli military power and deterrence.

At this time, the importance have increased of arming the Palestinian people, especially in the West Bank, for the purpose of legitimate defense against Israel's militaristic policies and war crimes, as well as holding a referendum to determine the ruling political system in the occupied territories with the presence of all religions including Jews, Christians and Muslims, which both have been mentioned many times in the statements of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

 The solutions provided by the Islamic Republic of Iran are fair and based on the right of legitimate defense for the Palestinian nation. These solutions are close to being realized. The plan of these two strategic views from the leader of the revolution (holding elections and arming the West Bank) to solve the Palestinian crisis is in opposition to the plans of the Western and Arab governments.

The so-called peace plans put forth by the Western governments were to maintain the security and survival of the Zionist regime, but Iran's plan which is based on arming the West Bank and holding a referendum among all residents and displaced people of Palestine is the most effective solution available to solve the Palestinian crisis. The solutions can become more acceptable at the world through serious diplomatic efforts.
